Check and Checkmate

Check: When a hostile piece(queen, knight, rook, bishop) or pawn attacks the king. There are 3 ways of defending the checks i.e by capturing(killing) the hostile piece, by moving the king away or by bringing a piece in between the hostile piece and the game.
Checkmate: When the king cannot escape from check in any of the ways. This is the end of the game.
